Exercises for Arthritis

Studies show that exercise helps people with arthritis: exercise reduces joint pain and stiffness. It increases flexibility, muscle strength, and endurance. It also helps with weight-loss and improves your sense of well-being. No matter what form of arthritis you have -- osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or even fibromyalgia -- exercise can help you lead a healthier, more productive, and pain-free life. In Exercises for Arthritis, registered nurse, exercise physiologist, and certified fitness instructor Erin Rohan O'Driscoll has developed an exercise program designed especially for arthritis patients. With Exercises for Arthritis, you'll strengthen your muscles and increase flexibility while fighting fatigue and pain. Book jacket.
